collaboration with Les Kurbas Theater, Lviv/Ukraine 2011
Lesia Ukrainka's classic text is a dramatic love story between the Forest Nymph Mavka and a young man, Lukash. In Andriy Prykhodko’s vivid directorial interpretation of Mavka’s story, the three acts of her chronicles encapsulate different periods of Ukrainian history. Its beginning coincides with the start of the twentieth century when Ukraine was at its last peak of cultural and national identity; when everyday life was filled with the vibrancy of its historical treasures, its clothing, its songs, its rituals, its traditions. The second and third “carols” shift to the starker period Soviet times and then onto the present, which harbors the bitter legacy of the past.
